Two types of rare, endangered or uncommon old-growth forest communities were identified in Eden: rare and depleted old-growth communities where old growth as a proportion of the forest community is generally less than 10 per cent; and rare, vulnerable and endangered forest communities where old growth as a proportion of the forest community may be greater than 10 per cent but the community itself is rare, vulnerable or endangered.
